The main thing I got out of #AzureFunctions was free service with the ability to scale up if the app ever got popular (it won’t, but yay free stuff). The downside is that the SDK is painful, especially for the isolated runtime, which was “recommended” when I kicked this project off.

Keep in mind, I’m coming from an #AspNetCore background, where there is robust support for common web scenarios. It was frustrating that basic things didn’t work out of the box with Functions (at least as of #net6).

@robert_p_king Nice! The first migration I worked on used the #MigrationAssistant to re-target. It was months before we even got things to compile again (and that's with test projects excluded) 😬

The second one, which is still in progress, is a totally new project + some #netstandard projects (shared contracts) that we are copying into and adjusting one by one, much like what you described. The plan is to use #YARP to slowly replace the existing app in production with the #net6 implementation.

@robert_p_king This past year I’ve been involved in two big #net6 migrations. It can be painful at times, but it’s very rewarding to see it all come together!

I especially enjoyed seeing all the new language features start to creep into the codebase, as people realized “Oh yeah, I CAN do that now!”
